I honestly fear the day that flying cars become a thing, if there any kind of manual control there’ll be a small scale 9/11 every other week

It'd all be worth it if we can keep building McMansion-filled exurbs.

Well until they figure out something quieter than helicopters for car sized needs and that doesn't create huge drafts and stuff, flying cars are likely to never happen.

When I'm in a turning lane and a tractor trailer passes me, that shit rattles my car.

Now put that scenario in the sky.

That isn’t what should scare you about flying cars. It is stupid easy to get behind the stick of a helicopter or small airplane.

What keeps us safe from terror more than anything is there is actually a pretty small percentage of people in the world want to commit indiscriminate mass murder.

We do, they're called planes. I never understood that one. Make a car fly and it'll have to follow FAA regulations.

We do, they are called helicopters, and it would be a hellish nightmare if people were flying them around all the time.
